Who We Are

We're very diverse; we have people from all walks of life, all kinds of professions, education, non-profit, politics, etc.

We're not just for actors, singers, dancers, performers, musicians, artists and writers, although we do have many treasured and creative members in those professions!

Everyone is Welcome. Whether you are a creative professional, an aficionado of the performing and literary arts, or someone looking for an opportunity to socialize and network with other like minded people, you are welcome to our community.

And don't forget that our sanctuary is also an off-Broadway theater space! We are part of the New York performing arts community, and proud of it.
